A man fighting in a country club insulted my daughter

FOx News News host Tucker Carlson says a man last month called "fucking" and "fucking his underpants" his 19-year-old daughter in a Virginia country club.

The ensuing confrontation opened the prospect of a legal battle, as the individual, Juan Manuel Granados, represented by his lawyer, Michael Avenatti, claims that Carlson assaulted him and could commit to prosecution.

In a statement made this weekend, Calrson claimed that Granados had met his daughter on returning from the bathroom at a family dinner on Oct. 13 at the Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, Virginia. Granados asked if she was sitting with Carlson. was his father, which, according to Carlson, would have prompted Granados to use vulgar language.

In response, Carlson stated that his son had thrown a glass of wine on Granados' face, while Carlson had shouted at that man. Granados' membership to the club has since been canceled, writes Carlson in his statement.

"I love my kids.It took a huge self-control not to hit the man with a chair, which I wanted to do.I think any father can understand the overwhelming rage and shock that I felt to see my teenage daughter attacked by a stranger, "Carlson said. "But I restrained myself, I did not assault this man, nor did my son, it's a lie, I did not know either that he was gay or Latino, not that that would have been of importance.What happened on October 13th did with the politics of identity.It was a grotesque violation of decency. Have never seen anything like this in my life. "

On Saturday, Avenatti, who says that Granados is a "gay homosexual immigrant," shared a video of the incident at the center of the controversy, imploring witnesses to come forward when they had relevant information. on the meeting.

Avenatti then rejected Carlson's version of the events that took place.

"Your daughter and son were called this way, the man never admitted, your son committed an assault, you committed an assault (find out the difference)," tweeted Avenatti, who also represents porn star Stormy Daniels in his legal battle against President Atout. "You told the man to" come back from where you came from "before the video started."

Granados, in a statement issued Sunday by Avenatti, repeated that he had the intention to file a complaint.

"I did not deserve to be treated this way that night," he said. "I am confident that after a full and complete investigation, the truth will be known and the version of Tucker's events will be completely false."

Business Insider reported Saturday that Granados has already sued the Roanoke Athletic Club, another Virginia-based group, for not granting him, his partner, and their family's affiliation.

Carlson and Avenatti have had a fighting relationship since the lawyer took Daniels as a client. Carlson's Fox News program called Avenatti a "scary porn lawyer" in a chyron when he appeared in the series in September for a debate. The personality of the television has repeatedly used this phrase to belittle Avenatti.
